Blimey Guv'nor, it's almost time to leave for Blighty and I haven't sorted out my cold weather clothes yet! Martin the Mechanic hasn't given me his 'shopping list' yet nor has he returned the instruments and chart plotter, mutter mutter mutter. I was going to purchase an Ipad if I could get it VAT-free from the Fiji Apple reseller, they took copies of all my Customs/boat paperwork to make sure they could import it OK but haven't got back to me to say yay or nay so looks like I'll be buying this vital bit of navigational equipment in the UK (where it's cheaper anyway). Yes it is navigational equipment, it has a built-in GPS and will take Navionics charts. Other matters are proceeding more smoothly. I just watched Amresh the Canvas re-fit the bimini and Joni the GRP-man has been working his magic.

Good man. Looking forward to quote for new foam mattresses.

Inside the hull something was afoot, or should that be 'afeet'?

Oi! Where's the hole gone?

Repairing one of the ribs

A bit like a splint really. Sort of HB pencil and two rubber bands!

Relax, it's just holding a bit of plywood in place.
